CIL Group sees modest revenue growth, profit drop despite logistics boost

China Infrastructure & Logistics Group Ltd. (CIL Group) announced interim results for the six months ended June 30, 2025. Revenue increased by approximately 0.5% to HK$157,939,000, up from HK$157,177,000 in the comparative period of 2024. Gross profit also rose approximately 2.6% to HK$38,406,000, with the gross profit margin improving slightly to 24.3%. However, profit attributable to owners of the company decreased by 28.7% to HK$2,473,000, compared to HK$3,468,000 in the last period, resulting in basic earnings per share of HK0.14 cents.

The revenue increase was primarily due to a HK$12,351,000 rise in integrated logistics services and a HK$2,006,000 increase from terminal and related services. These gains offset a HK$14,107,000 decrease in the supply chain management and trading business. The WIT Port's container throughput grew by 1% to 450,279 TEUs, largely driven by a 5.3% increase in trans-shipment containers.

As of June 30, 2025, the Group reported net current liabilities of approximately HK$138,467,000 and total cash and cash equivalents of HK$37,190,000. No interim dividend was recommended by the board for the period. The company also highlighted its strategic focus on high-quality development, industrial upgrading, and expanding its "Belt and Road" route network in the second half of 2025.
